Chaos was the law of Nature;
Order was the dream of man.
~Henry Adams

When you've spent your entire life believing every choice your parents make for you is the right one, breaking out of their control might be harder than anticipated. 

Tricia Diabene is a perfectionist who wants nothing but to make her parents proud of her. She goes the extra-mile to achieve perfect grades and perfection in literally everything she does. She believes it is the only way to match up to her high-standard parents and impress them. 
What happens when she discovers that her aims and her parents' are completely different? Does Tricia turn her back on her family, or buries her desires in order to keep being their trophy child? 

Finding out your father cheated on your mother is a hard pill to swallow. Being uprooted from your home in London to an unfamiliar life in Accra would turn any good-natured teenage boy spiteful and a little rebellious. But having to put up with a manipulative arsehole stepbrother?

That's where David Ampofo draws the line. 

David can't stand Adam for the life of him, either at school or at home. He prefers pretending his stepbrother doesn't exist, for the most part. Living at home is practically a prison sentence, and he finds joy in watching Formula One races, playing with microelectronics kits -and winning over his crush, Tricia Diabene. 

As Tricia's life slowly unravels when she's faced with life altering decisions, David is forced to confront the fact that you can't live with a hate-filled heart forever. When personas crack and paradigms are shifted with crushing hard-truths, will they be enough continue to be enough for each other? 

Or will they find what lies beneath the surface too repulsive and overwhelming to continue together?All Rights Reserved

"There's a beginning to every story. There's an end to every beginning. This is how my story begins and ends." -Kate "These a soul out there that's meant for me. I just haven't came across it yet." -Bear My story doesn't the fairytale start however in the mist of everything; it has the fairytale ending. The princess who gets her Prince Charming. Or in my case, the VP of Creed MC, he's not a Prince Charming but he's Royalty to his club. How we met was by accident but I call it fate. Outsiders would be scared of such a brute, I wasn't one of them. When I moved here from Ashby with my daughter, I hadn't expected to catch the eyes of another VP. I promised to stay clear from any members of any clubs. I wouldn't risk my heart to be shattered by any outlaw criminal again. My luck, they'd be exactly like Viper and if they were... I would never recover. I made plenty of mistakes to get me to where I am today. But with those mistakes, I wouldn't ask for a redo. I wouldn't have McKenzie. I wouldn't be married to my savior. We wouldn't have our children, if I had asked for a redo in life. Having Mac was a miracle but falling for Bear was a blessing in disguise. He had his own son almost the same age as Mac. Our love wasn't off the bat, it was a slow pace. It took him months on top of months to get me to agree to one date. That one date turned into another, turned into two more, which turned into dating. Before Bear, there was many of mistakes. I was trying to fix the mistakes me mother created before she passed. My mother was a prostitute for the Viper's MC. She had sex with any of the member and thus is how I came about. I never knew who my father was, not that I cared. I tried to go down a different path but any path I chose when straight to the Viper's MC clubhouse. My story will be a rocky rollercoaster one that ends up in a happy ending. You'll laugh, smile, and cry. You have been warned.

A friend to remember by Kendjunior_

Money, wealth, fame, power, these teens have it all, but all that glitters Is not gold. **** Denise would have never imagined that was what happened to her twelve years ago. Now, twelve years later, she is faced with the bitter truth. This truth uprooted her entire life, as she knew it. Denise, a 16-year ago, living in the slums Of Lagos Nigeria, knew that there was no reason to dream in this world, not when you were living in a country like Nigeria, so bleak and hopeless. So she never hoped, she never tried to dream. All she wanted was a good-paying job to help her sister out of poverty. But when reality came knocking, Denise's simple life spiraled out of control. This newfound truth will thrust her into a totally new and different world from what she knew or was accustomed to. She is thrust into a world she is underprepared for. A world of wealth, fame, and glamour. But not all that glitters is gold. Denise found herself in the midst of drama like never before. With a twin sister who is hell-bent on hating her, a family full of love and lies, mystery and conspiracy behind her kidnap, a new school full of snobby rich teens, ridiculous drama, bullying, and a SERIAL KILLER on the loose. Death, danger, glamour, wealth, power and fame. They were all intertwined. How would Denise survive in a world that doesn't accept failure? How would Denise survive the danger of her new world poses?

The American (BWWM) by mss_amalee

"What?" Ethan says in his all too familiar deep, rude voice. Ethan has pitch-black hair, is 6 feet tall, with a solid build. His deep grey eyes are glaring at me right now. His jawline is so sharp I'm sure it can cut through anything. "You hit me, spilling my coffee all over me," I say, pointing out the obvious. "So, what do you want me to do about it?" he asks, like he's done nothing wrong. "You're supposed to say sorry," I say in a duh tone. "And why should I?" "Because that's what people with manners do." "I know that, but you don't deserve a sorry from me." "Wow. And why is that?" "Because black bitches like you don't deserve it," he says with a sneer. "I have told you times without number to stop calling me that," I say, angry at his insults. "Make me," Ethan says, taking a dangerous step closer. I don't say anything but hiss and walk past him. I don't know why I expected him to apologize. It's Ethan, after all. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethan is a young male about to get his first degree, he might look normal to the world, but don't we all have our demons inside.

Ethan is hell-bent on bringing hell down on Adina, and she is determined to shove it up all the way into his ass. They are both opposites, but they say opposites attract one other. What happens when a significant incident changes all that. How do these two different people deal with a feeling that is supposed to be forbidden to feel for each other?

It was crazy, I experienced a lot, I met the mighty P-12, Every happy Linda, Annoying Amy, mysterious Isabella, Joel and his bully crew, playful Zion, boyish and troublesome Mitchello, cunny Irantiola, sweethearted Bee and my heartrob leandro. I learnt something which I still held with me till today, the people you least expected to hurt you will hurt you most, you can never tell someone can hurt you until the person hurt you. I am glad I left home, I made some mistakes and I learnt my lesson, never judge someone you just met because you can never tell their story, how life has dealt with them, what makes them what they are presently, I have a lot to talk about in my story.

love always, noah | Rewriting by softdreams_x

❝You'll always be the Golden Boy, but deep down, you're just an empty trophy.❞ **** Natalia Winters knows all about second place. For years, she's been clawing her way to the top-meticulously planning, studying until her vision blurs, and sacrificing sleep for success-all to keep up with everyone else's effortless brilliance. She's the girl who never feels good enough, who measures her worth against grades and achievements, who works twice as hard just to avoid falling into the void of mediocrity. And at every step of the way, there's Noah West: her lifelong rival, her mirror image of perfection, and her greatest source of frustration. Now, as senior year hurtles toward its finale, Natalia is determined to prove she's more than second best. But when Leo Martinez-Noah's best friend and the kind of charming that feels effortless-enters the picture, Natalia starts to believe she might deserve more than a life spent measuring up. Caught between her relentless pursuit of success and the whirlwind of complicated feelings she's been avoiding, Natalia must confront the truth she's been running from: what if being perfect isn't what she wants? And what if the boy she's spent years trying to beat has been on her side all along? Sometimes the person you've been fighting against is the only one who truly sees you. _______________________________________________________________________________ Start Date: 05.05.20 End Date: 29.05.20 Word Count: [[90,000-100,000]] #1 in TeenFiction 12/09/20 #1 in Abuse 09/11/20 100.000 Reads: 17/10/20 200.000 Reads: 12/06/21 240.000 Reads: 27/09/24

Everything Has Changed by paperandpen444

"If you asked me three months ago what heartbreak was, I would tell you it's losing somebody close to you due to unspeakable circumstances. But right now, in this moment, I would say it's you. I would say it's the feeling I got in my chest when I realized I was out of time. When I stood in the rain and yelled for you to stay, but all I saw was your back. I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen. Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words. All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you. With the way you move, and the feeling of your arms around me. With the feeling of your chest vibrating as you laugh. Heartbreak is falling in love with everything about you, but having the words permanently stuck in my throat." _____ Gracelyn Levinsky grew up with Daniel Grey. She has always looked to him as a brother, but when she escapes from her abusive Mom and moves to the same town Danny moved to when he was ten, she finds out that he's in love with her. After countless attempts to get her to feel the same, Danny gives up. But when Grace realizes just how much she does love Danny, words can't help her because he shut her out of his life completely. How do you tell somebody who you can't talk to that you're in love with them? Simple. You force them to listen. WARNING: THIS STORY INCLUDES THE VERY ATTRACTIVE DANIEL GREY WHO REMINDS ME AND EVERYONE WITH OVARIES OF A SOFT GOLDEN RETRIEVER PUPPY THAT IS SLEEPING ON YOUR CHEST SO PLEASE BEWARE THAT YOUR OVARIES WILL EXPLODE WHILE READING THIS STORY! AN: please don't steal this story. I'm working/have worked really hard to create this and develop the characters and story line. This is solely made up out of my mind.
